SSH Port Forwarding Service

port-forwardingPROXYssh

My home computer is behind a firewall that I do not control and blocks all (yes, all) inbound traffic. Nearly any outbound traffic (and replies associated with it) are allowed, though. I would like to have SSH access to my machine. Given a friendly server on the Internet, I could use SSH itself to forward a port on the remote server to port 22 on the home computer, essentially using the remote computer as a secure proxy.

I do not have such a friendly server. Does there exist a service that offers to port forward in this manner?

Best Answer

There are several services that provide exactly that - free SSH port forwarding

Here is a brief list:

  • sshto.net - the simplest free SSH port forwarding service you can find based on just plain ssh
  • openport.io - a more sophisticated service that requires you to install their client software and has professional plans
  • neorouter.com - an even more feature packed and pricey software that also packs VPN support
  • remot3.it - a platform that is focused on IoT but does provide similar features
  • dataplicity.com - a small easy platform specifically designed to access your Raspberry PI shell which may help if you access your home network from an RPI
